About this audiobook
A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a woman's quest for freedom. Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor-qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved?
Charlotte Brontë
Charlotte Bronte nació en 1816 en Thronton (Yorkshire), tercera hija de Patrick Brontë y Maria Branwell. En 1820 el padre fue nombrado vicario perpetuo de la pequeña aldea de Haworth, en los páramos de Yorkshire, y allí pasaría Charlotte casi toda su vida. Huérfanos de madre a muy corta edad, los cinco hermanos Brontë fueron educados por una tía. En 1824, Charlotte, junto con sus hermanas Emily, Elizabeth y Maria, acudió a una escuela para hijas de clérigos; Elizabeth y Maria murieron ese mismo año, y Charlotte siempre lo atribuyó a las malas condiciones del internado. Estudiaría posteriormente un año en una escuela privada, donde ejerció asimismo como maestra; fue luego institutriz, y maestra de nuevo en un pensionado de Bruselas, donde en 1842 estuvo interna con Emily. De vuelta a Haworth, en 1846 consiguió publicar un volumen de Poesías con sus hermanas Emily y Anne, con el pseudónimo, respectivamente, de Currer, Ellis y Acton Bell. Su primera novela, El profesor (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLIV), no encontró editor, y no sería publicada hasta 1857. Pero, como Currer Bell, publicó con éxito Jane Eyre (1847; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. IV). En 1848, mientras morían a su alrededor Emily y Anne y su hermano Branwell, escribió Shirley (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XXX), que sería publicada al año siguiente. Su última novela fue Villette (1853). Charlotte se casó con el reverendo A. B. Nicholls un año antes de morir en 1855.
